Basically nobody has been working on Sage releases lately. I did some work on 4.4.3 during the first day of Sage days last week, and it has lingered, because I simply don't have the time. There are 94 tickets with positive review: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/report/32 There is also an alpha1 of sage-4.4.3 here, and two tiny doctests failures http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/build/release/4.4.3/sage-4.4.3.alpha1.tar Failures on sage.math: sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/graphs/generic_graph.py" sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/sets/set.py" Total time for all tests: 8037.9 seconds This fails to build on OS X, due to some changes we made to get it to build on Cygwin. The alpha above makes almost no changes to the core Sage library. Of the "25 patches with positive review ready for inclusion" that you mentioned above, are they all changes to the core Sage library? Or do the patch spkg's, etc.? One possibility would be to test/stabilize the current 4.4.3.alpha* (i.e., fix the fallout from the cygwin related tickets), include those 25 patches (all to the sage library), and release 4.4.3 on Saturday. If you like that, then make a clean sage-4.4.2, apply all 25 patches, test it, and I can just pull those changes in, and that will be 4.4.3. -- William -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
